2023 Fall Schedule

The 2023 Season is right around the corner! We're looking forward to sharing a cup of our fresh pressed cider with you!

Last Weekend of the Season - BOGOs

It's the last weekend of the season - which brings the End of the Season Sale. There will be buy one, get one sales on several items. We still have upick...Red Delicious and Ida Reds and most of our late fall varieties are still available in the store as well. You can even enjoy one last hayride.

Make the holidays easier with this sale...here are some ideas:

- While you enjoy a gallon of cider, freeze one for the holidays (just pour a bit off the top for expansion).

- Jams and preserves are great under $5 gifts.

- Cider donuts can stay frozen for up to 3 months (that covers the holidays) in a well sealed freezer bag.

- Get a few pumpkins to decorate your porch or table for Thanksgiving.

This week in the store, you can find Honey Crisp, Sweet Tango, Gold and Red Delicious. There is upick for Red Delicious and Ida Red. Hayrides will be available BOTH Saturday and Sunday from 1:30-5pm. Pumpkins are on sale ….buy one get one.

Do you need a photo for the holiday card? We have the solution:

Sweetest Day...and sweet opportunities

We love sunny weekends...especially this Sunday!

Empire, Cortland and Jonagold

We look forward to your visit today. Cool weather bring fall in all its greatness. Enjoy a few drops of rain, pick up some sider and apples to enjoy throughout the week. We have Empire, Cortland and Jonagold this weekend.

End of the Season: Sale Items....and Halloween

The kids, my husband and I will be joining grandpa and grandma (and hopefully you) this weekend. We are looking forward to a Michigan Halloween! June (10yrs) will dress as a unicorn princess, and Til (6yrs) is a Minecraft pig zombie (?!). I have no idea what or if I’ll pull something off in the last moment. We’re hoping that grandma and grandpa can enjoy walking around with us Sunday evening.

As a mom, I’ve come to learn that Halloween begins the holiday season. The holiday photo should get done this weekend to not stress me out later. I even started purchasing wrapping paper at the dollar store for the teacher gifts. I like giving edible gifts to teachers and special others. After Covid, I feel like people want less “stuff” and would rather enjoy relaxing with others…nice edible gifts are perfect for that. If that’s your strategy too, I would recommend a few sale items this weekend:

• Cider special: Buy 1 gal. : get 1 gal. free. - You can freeze for mulled cider.

• Caramel apples: For the really good kids on Halloween.

• Cherry wine: Perfect for holiday entertaining and is not in retail distribution

• Northern Spy pies and Fruits of the Forest pies - Frozen for Thanksgiving, you can give yourself a break, we did the baking.

There are also plenty of Honeycrisp and Gala apples that can hold in your refrigerator. Looking forward to seeing you.

10/23-24: Fleeting Fall Moment

With this post, I’m going to share a bit ‘behind the scenes’ into our cider mill. There will be more to share even next weekend. Our posts are written each week by me (Heidi Neuroth) and I live in Pasadena, CA….while the rest of the family is scampering around getting work done in Salem, MI and the Plymouth Farmer’s Market.

We will be joining my family next weekend from Pasadena to share in the tradition that I hope you have taken time with your family to do this year. My brother Peter and I grew up with apple picking, the smell of cinnamon donuts, sticky cider on my shoes and early morning in the dark setup at the markets… and all that came with it (that’s 50 years!). My parents would love if you come by have a Northern Spy apple pie (evidently you can freeze them I’m told….one less thing to do for Thanksgiving?), caramel apples (I have dibs on four of them), warm donuts and the sweetest cider you’ll enjoy in the season. Is there upick or hay rides…no. But please go take a walk in the orchard and enjoy just being there. We’ll be joining you soon.

It's Sweetest Day...here are some ideas as fall is fleeting

Note: Fall weekends are limited for the Plymouth Market (only this week and next) and the cider mill (until the end of this month).

Sweetest Day: Is it a commercial holiday…sure, we believe it was created by a candy maker from Cleveland, Ohio. It’s meant to simply be a way to say thank you to the special people in your life…and a few showers today can simply mean cozying up around something warm to drink. Here are some ideas for the weekend… 1. Take a walk with them and enjoy fall - even a 30 minute walk can make a big difference each day. 2. Have a little Sunday picnic on a blanket…you’re welcome in our cider mill yard 3. Add something fun to lunch…it’s the little things that show thoughtfulness 4. Freeze a bunch of apple fritters…nice to pull out and warm up with some coffee 5. Let that person know beyond sweetest day how important they are to you.

Apple Varieties: Sweet Tango, Honey Crisp, Ida Reds, Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, Honey Crisp.

Plymouth Farmer's Market, Saturdays 8am-12:30pm

We will have all of our great fall products, including donuts, cider, apples and yes…honey! The market is open until 10/23 and you’ll find us right at the front under The Gathering across from the Penniman Theatre and Kellogg Park.

10/2-3: Ida Reds, Golden/Red Delicious, Northern Spy and more varieties...and pumpkins!

Whether you’re looking to make a great pie, pack a lunch or have some straight off the branch…come and enjoy Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Ida Reds, Sweet Tango, Honey Crisp and Northern Spy….apples to eat and bake with. That also means fantastic cider. The pumpkin patch is full. No upick or hayrides.

9/22-23: Red Delicious , Sweet Tango, Honeycrisp Apples
